Judith Nwokocha struggled for eight years to get pregnant until she tried IVF and gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to Kamsi and Kachi

A mother who gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to black and albino twin babies says people don’t believe the twins are hers because of their different skin colour.

Judith Nwokocha, 38, from Calgary in Canada, said she thought she was given the wrong 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 when she noticed the difference between them.

The photographer admitted that she struggled for eight years to get pregnant until she tried IVF and gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to a black 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 boy Kamsi, and an albino 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 girl, Kachi, in 2016.

She wrote on blog Love What Matters: “The first time I saw her [Kachi], I wondered if the nurse was handing me my 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦, or someone else’s.

“I waited a few seconds for someone to tell me there was a mix-up.

“I was quite surprised by how white she was. Perhaps she’s just very fair in complexion, I thought.

“But all I heard from the nurse was how beautiful she was.

“Soon the joy of seeing them both healthy surpassed any other feeling at that instant.”

The mother-of-two said people were confused when they saw the babies – and mostly it’s because of the hair texture.

She said: “Someone has asked me ‘where are her parents?’ I can see the look of shock in their faces when I tell them I’m her mum.

She was told by the doctors that Kachi had albinism and that she would struggle with her vision.

Doctors suggested that Kachi would likely need to learn to read braille.

“I was OK knowing that her vision wouldn’t be perfect, but telling me my daughter will need braille in school was very heartbreaking,” she added.

“I threw the braille sheets in the garbage.”

Judith says she’s focusing on making sure her now three-year-old girl grows up to embrace her differences.

How is it possible to have black and white twins?

She described Kachi as a smart girl with strong personality.

Judith said: “I’m not sure she’s aware of her uniqueness at the moment, but eventually she’ll know.

“It’s my responsibility to educate her and teach her to love herself no matter what.”
